New Linking Open Data group on CKAN

November 5, 2009 in CKAN, Metadata, News, Open Data

Our Open Data and Semantic Web workshop is coming up next Friday 13th November in London, kindly sponsored by Talis.

In preparation for the workshop, we have started a Linking Open Data group on CKAN, our open-source registry of open data, based on the new group feature we announced last week. We currently have 83 Linked Data packages listed, which you can see at:

If you know of any datasets we should add, please consider adding them to CKAN! If you’d like to become an administrator for the LOD group, please get in touch.

We have also converted all of the CKAN data to RDF and loaded it onto Talis’s Connected Commons platform (which was launched earlier this year at OKCon 2009). This can be queried at:
